So far I have one positive and no negative vote. If I agreed to the
Dimitris suggestion, will I get another +1 then? I really _need_ a
decision _now_ because my feature is finished (for 10 days now) and I
still want it to get into F10 before final feature freeze (scheduled for
October 28th).
Please give me more feedback, ether positive or negative.
TIA,
Christoph
